The Nick Jr. show Oobi began as a series of two-minute interstitial shorts featuring the same characters.[1] These shorts were billed as Noggin Presents: Oobi and aired during commercial breaks on Noggin and Nickelodeon, beginning in 2000. They were shown regularly until April 2003, when the first season of half-hour Oobi episodes premiered. Nickelodeon stopped airing the shorts altogether on their main network, but sparse airings continued on Noggin until 2007.
The half-hour series is widely distributed; all of its episodes have been released by Nickelodeon in "Complete Series" collections on Amazon Video and YouTube. However, the full set of shorts hasn't seen an official release. Some of them have been found in home-recorded tapes of Noggin and Nick Jr., but most are not currently available online.
History
In the United States, the shorts were shown on Noggin and Nickelodeon during its Nick Jr. block. Like its other interstitial programming, Nickelodeon had no specific schedule for airing them and played the shorts at random intervals. On Noggin, one short was played before each 30-minute show from 6 AM to 6 PM.[2] After the full episodes started airing on April 7th, 2003, Noggin stopped airing the shorts as frequently and adopted the same randomized schedule as Nick Jr.
In Canada, TVOntario aired 46 of the shorts on a rotating schedule.[3] TVO's schedule catalogues are the source of official titles for many of the shorts. However, some of them ("Itsy Bitsy Spider!" and "Toys!") don't appear at all on their schedules, indicating that TVO didn't air the complete collection.
Availability
Shortened versions of "Dance!" and "Bubble Bath!" were released on Nick Jr. DVDs from 2003 to 2004, but that was it in terms of official releases. 48 shorts are confirmed to exist, but it is unknown how many were made in total.
